Since when? Oh wait, silly me, it must be true because you said so!
Not.
Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot I can add to the "learn about the game mechanics crowd," but I mostly agree with them.
Lets take the vagabond situation. Things to have done differently: 1.) Redocked when you saw the Vagabond. 2.) Warp somewhere besides a gate, which has several other objects in the same general direction, making it hard for him to guess where you wapred to. 3.) When you came out of warp for the cap stop, you could have warped back to the station to try again later(meh). 4.) Additionally, why not simply warp to the gate at, say, 100km or 80km, where the Vagabond most likely won't be expecting you to appear, possibly letting you escape from the gate in one piece. 5.) Stay put where you came out of warp due to lack of cap, scanning the gate repeatedly, watching for whatever is at the gate to leave. Still not fool-proof this one, as what if he jumped, and is waiting for you on the other side? Simple, as you said you were in a gateway system trying to get to a nextdoor high-sec system, you go to the gate and jump, seeing as then you'll be safely in high-sec, and he can't attack you. And if you're lucky, he could've had really crappy sec status, and gotten popped by the faction police + gate guns on the other side, leaving his loot for you.
Another thing. If earlier on in the time you were stuck in the system, you were to come to the forums and ask for ideas how to get out and explained you were new to the game, you most likely would have gotten several useful suggestions.
Hmm...also, about your confidence in your decently fit cruiser and decent skills, trust me, they most likely aren't. I felt the same exact way about all my cruiser and bigger ships in the beggining. But later, one day, I got in a cruiser, changed the fittings and such, undocked, and it just felt "right."
[Useless part of post]Also, instas aren't an exploit at all; in fact, I believe that there is a tutorial on how to make them on the site www.eve-online.com itself somewhere. But knowing myself, my memory is probably screwy and I'm completely wrong.[/Useless part of post]
Also, stop lying about your skills, just makes you seem like, well, an idiot, since I can't think of a nicer way to phrase that.
